Artist: Stefano Corso

Stefano Corso was born in Rome in 1968. He always lived in his city, and during his years of photography, he developed a very personal perception of its nature, its changes, its unusual landscapes, often balancing with irony even Rome’s most degraded aspects.

His visual quest is centered on the concept of human loneliness, scattered and lost amidst urban chaos, but Stefano Corso’s peculiar point of view always has a certain surreal, oniric quality, properly balanced by the irony of the pictures’ titles. Selected images emphasize the feeling of incumbent vital spaces, where men are found wandering like lost, lonely shadows.

Stefano Corso’s work is influenced by classic street photographers such as Elliot Erwitt, Robert Doisneau and by Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska, but his personal vision of reality has led him into a world between dream and nightmare were man is confronted by his own architectonical creations. A neutral vision is guaranteed by a detached view where man and his environment coexist, interact and confront each other.

During the past five years Stefano Corso has been traveling in Paris, Berlin and New York, observing and portraying their urban landscapes for his reportages and photographic projects
